Introducing Knowledge Cards!
Knowledge cards are basically cheat sheets that you'll be allowed to use during your test. A good Knowledge Card only has information that you are struggling with and think you will need to access during your test and is easy to read (it's organized.) The rules for using Knowledge Cards are as follows:
- You can have ONE index card, no larger than 4x6.
- You can write on the front and the back of your index card.
- It must be hand-written (nothing photocopied or typed.)
- While it may include answers from your study guide, you still must do the study guide separately.
- It will be placed in the front of the room for each test. You will be allowed to get up to look at it as many times as you would like (without penalty) during 1st semester's tests. During 2nd semester's tests you will have a limited number of visits.
- You may not bring your test to the front of the room and you may not write anything down while you are visiting your sheet.
- You may not use / look at anyone else's sheet.
- I will collect your Knowledge Cards after each test and will give them back to you before the mid-term and AP exams so you can use them to study.

1. Science is a process.
• Science is a method of learning more about the world. • Science constantly changes the way we understand the world. 2. Energy conversions underlie all ecological processes. • Energy cannot be created; it must come from somewhere. • As energy flows through systems, at each step more of it becomes unusable. 3. The Earth itself is one interconnected system. • Natural systems change over time and space. • Biogeochemical systems vary in ability to recover from disturbances. |
4. Humans alter natural systems.
• Humans have had an impact on the environment for millions of years. • Technology and population growth have enabled humans to increase both the rate and scale of their impact on the environment. 5. Environmental problems have a cultural and social context. • Understanding the role of cultural, social, and economic factors is vital to the development of solutions. 6.
